What do the experts say?

When Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced his national security plans, he likened the portfolio to that of United Kingdom’s Home Office, a Governing body that oversees the security and immigration of the Nation.

However, UK Officials have warned that the program has its flaws.

According to a former member of the UK Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit Julian McCrae, the Federal Government needs to be aware of the bigger picture.

“Certainly the UK’s history on merging organisations makes you sceptical about the claimed benefits — I would look at that more than the Home Office model itself,” he said.

“The question is ‘what’s your rationale?’ Is there enough long-term logic of bringing these things together to get over the short-term dip in performance, which is pretty much inevitable?”

Despite the backlash, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull stood by his national protection and intelligence plans.

Speaking on the Today show,Mr. Turnbull said that national security is his party’s top priority.
